Rapperswil - Fountain and Schloss Rapperswil

Rapperswil is often overlooked by visitors to Switzerland - even by those looking for day trips from Zürich. That's their loss.

A lake cruise or short train ride away, historic Rapperswil is perched on the shores of Lake Zürich. Famed for it's Castle and rose garden ( Rapperswil is also known as the "City of Roses"), "Rappi" plays host to the annual Blues n Jazz festival which takes place throughout the old town.
